I'll try to stay polite, but your claim is utter nonsense and not born out by the historical record.
Unlike Mormonism with less than 200 years of history, you're looking at more than 3,000...
Egyptian beliefs do not lend themselves to easy analyses and understanding; there were lots of Gods over the centuries, and the Egyptians had no problem "elevating" one god to a different role, etc. I found it difficult and complicated--and that was just a single grad-level class--and the tie-ins with Christianity (i.e. "eating the blood and flesh of a god as a sacrament" and the story of the Resurrection--i.e. Osiris--really shook my "Christian faith"--non-LDS--to the core).
I'm still in contact with my old professor who noted to me she "suffered professionally" being at the University of Utah but having the state associated with BYU.
If you want to start learning about actual Egyptology, I suggest beginning with Champollion and the story of the Rosetta Stone.
